Gold Coins (GLD)
Gold is the lifeblood of trade in Wildoria. Minted by the Old World banks and re-stamped by the current Municipality, it is recognized by all Factions as the standard unit of value.
Properties
- Standardized: Accepted by all NPCs and Playermade shops.
- Physical: Gold takes up weight in your inventory. Carrying millions of coins might require a larger .
Earning Gold
There are three primary ways to amass wealth:
- Combat: Monsters often swallow shiny objects or carry loot. Selling monster parts is the most consistent income for early adventurers.
- Professions: Gathering raw resources (Wood, Ore) or crafting finished goods (Swords, Potions) to sell on the Marketplace.
- Bounties: The City Hall posts daily bounties for notable threats.
Gold Sinks (fighting Inflation)
To ensure the value of Gold remains stable, the economy includes natural "sinks":
- Repairs: Equipment degrades with use and costs gold to repair.
- Travel: Teleportation networks charge a mana-tax payable in gold.
- ** Taxes:** Every marketplace transaction incurs a small tax.
